    27 Sailfish vs. 28 Sailfish

    Thank you very much for clarifying. I didn't think they'd re-design and entire boat just to add 1'. I figured it was more design changes if anything, such as the running surface change. Thanks for the info.

    1996 27 Sailfish fuel capacity

    27 Sailfish vs. 28 Sailfish

    What are the major differences, is it basically cosmetic? I've seen both and I can see the obvious differences at the helm and in the cabin, also noticed they moved the transom door to the port side from starboard, took out the rear bench seat and made it a cooler instead. But did they make...
